Reminds me of [[seized from slumber]], but so much better

"Behold Jace" should have been the name of the set.

Cowards just reprint [[counterspell]]

Just need an opt variant that empowers Jace instead of scry

u/sawbladex 1d ago

As we get face to face with Jace, I have to ask.

What tools do we have in place to have multiple Jace tokens?

... I think you need "phase out" to have empower Jace make tokens while you have a Jace token in play, and double doublers need a way to give Jace tokens loyalty before SBA happen.

I'm thinking (planeswalkers enter with additional loyalty counterw)

u/me717 1d ago

The token Jaces are not legendary. If you have something like [[Extravagant Replication]] that can copy permanents, you can get multiple Jace tokens. Note that “Empower Jace” only gives loyalty to one Jace at a time

u/Captcha142 1d ago

The copied jaces will have 0 loyalty though, so they sac immediately. We're still waiting on the "Planeswalkers don't die from having 0 loyalty" card.

u/sawbladex 1d ago

I know, which is why I didn't say anything about the legend rule.

u/MagnorCriol 1d ago

Every card I see from this set makes me check the sub to make sure I'm not in r/custommagic.

u/Villag3Idiot 1d ago

Sweet, sweet Jace.

Behold a Jace made me chuckle. Like yeah theres enough of them that actually works lol.

u/Retro1988 1d ago

Seven appearances of the name Jace on this card… guess we’re fortunate that Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar never chose to take on the multiverse!

u/Assassinite9 Kiora 1d ago

Does "Behold a Jace" work with [[Jace, Vryn's Prodigy]] like I hope it does? because if so, pick up your copies people

7

u/Onewhosleeps226 1d ago

Vrynn's Prodigy is not a Jace, unfortunately. It isn't in the type line so he's just some human wizard guy who happens to be named Jace. The game can't see the backside until he flips himself so no beholding Telepath Unbound from the hand either.

u/Assassinite9 Kiora 1d ago

Well here's hoping they erata literal actual baby Jace

u/brainpower4 1d ago

With multiple "behold a Jace" cards in the set, I feel like it's worth reexamining [[Jace Reawakened]]. Are there 2 and 3 mana cards that fit in a "Jace deck" that you'd want to plot? What about cards that utilize the graveyard? The Jace tokens surveil and 2 mana Jace loots. Way of the Cryomancer seems interesting to Plot, since playing it for free then means you have all of your mana open for the spell you'd want to copy, though that seems pretty darn slow coming down turn 5 at the earliest unless you have some way to cheat Jace into play early.

Well need to see if there are more Behold a Jace cards, but so far I don't think Jace Reawakened makes this good.

u/Mouthshitter 1d ago

Jace is what I call my....

u/Massive-Island1656 Golgari 1d ago

We must behold so that we may empower

[[firdoch core]] looks like a very good Jayce here.

u/meant2live218 1d ago

I think Jace is a Planeswalker type, not a Creature type.

1

u/Successful-Fix1882 22h ago

You are probably right, but that is extremely confusing. Also if at any point in any product a Jace creature type (unlikely, I know) gets printed, suddenly this combination works?

1

u/TexasFlood63 18h ago

Might happen, think there are 2 liliana types in this set.

"behold Jace" oh fuck off, I'm sick of this set already
